Take an odyssey down that untrodden path

Lions & Unicorns

The Vanishing Acts

Abracadabra!

Yep! The lions & unicorns were doing a hide & seek this year. Hardly seen any out and about and they seemed to have passed over the residential areas altogether. The excuses given were: not enough Ang Pow (Hong bao) collected to be worth paying the visits. Oh well, bang goes another new year tradition. The economy is really hanging over the minds of the dance troupes. Even on the day when there were supposed to be lots of dance troupes out in force to call on shops for new year greetings, only a few and far between were sighted. The rate it is going we may yet see the total disappearance of the lion dance troupe. The future trend looks to be that unless you invite the troupe to your house with a big Ang Pow; otherwise, no dice! That……. is about it- the future outlook.
